The hotel

Just a 10 minute drive from Tampa International Airport, this hotel is a great place to stop on your journey into the gulf coast, before you head off to one of many famous beaches. Connected by the causeway, there’s easy access to Clearwater, so you can have your feet in that soft white sand in no time. You don’t need to leave the hotel to get views of the water though, watch the bayside sunsets from your room, or whilst dining at the waterfront grill, sipping on your favourite cocktail.

This past week the big IT meltdown happened. Our flights were cancelled and we had to find a hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Doubletree, and the staff was on top of the crisis.

The airport was a mess - but not the Doubletree. Especially, Matthew, the Hotel Ambassador, and Debra, at the front desk. They worked professionally, calmly, and efficiently, while the rest of the world was cranky. Although we did not plan to stay there, we loved our three days and plan to come back. Read less

Lovely property, beautiful relaxing view from the bar, great meal and superior customer service from Rubin at the front desk! This is my second stay and I look forward to coming back. Lovely area with many other dining options close to the hotel.

Rubin and Roy started my stay with welcoming smiles and of course my cookie! The pool was an unexpectant treat facing the ocean with plenty of seating, and well maintained with plenty of towels.
